There always used to be number of open races on Bank Holdays, always good fun and good competition but nobody seems to bother any more!

mine just said test, didn't want to tax your brain to hard Paul

I think there are far more factors now than ever before. Yes, the conditions within the loft have to be right as do the health conditions but every week we here about multiple winners being lost, have they become bad birds or just become bop feed? Yesterday a club mate was calling his 1st bird in as another single bird flew down the valley to be taken out by a percy infront of him, that bird was up with the leaders and could well have been somebody's best bird. How can you realy determine a good bird flying under these conditions?

Yep, I make them in sets of 16 from an 8 x 4 sheet of ply cut into 4'x 12" strips then interlocked.

about 12" square are ideal

gone forever!

have they been out flying in rain?

If they've been lost training or racing its unlikely they are in anybody elses loft, move on and concentrate on what you've got and not what you've lost! It's simple in most cases, they wern't good enough!

Make them as big as you have room for, they do seem to prefer double boxes, that way you can also put 2 nest bowls in.

just 1 to come

A message should be left early in the day with current status and a time at which an update will be placed. At the end of each update, asuming no lib a time should be given for next update! I hate lib line!

with 2" long toes and walk with a limp!

sent 7, got 5 so far, they've had a very stiff fly, 2nd bird landed on his wing buts, couldn't stand up, completely flown out!

good, they've gone up with the SWW which will keep them up our way hopefully!

Who will continue to donate to online charity sales? I will sell birds and give money to Gail J for example for whichever charity she is collecting for and will continue to support Mick Bowlers cancer charity's.

forecast are for west wind here tomorrow!

may have a bird coming up on a lorry from Fordingbridge that may take it on return run but waiting to hear if the bird has been caught.
